This is my design and based on a woman I knew from the age of 3 years old.  She was a wee bit of a woman who helped care for my ailing grandmother.  Auntie Peanut loved our family as much as we loved her and she used to say that my hair was so curly that I looked just like Shirley Temple. 

The mat measures 12 1/2"  x  12 1/2" and is hooked using #8 wool strips.  Her kerchief bow is a piece of wool which I stitched into place to look three-dimensional and her hair is natural wool roving to give that dimensional look again.  A sleeve has been sewn in the back so it is ready to use as a wall hanging.  $105 plus shipping.

Debbie's Horse measures  17" x 29 1/4" and is a design by Woolley Fox.  I hooked the rug using #8 and #8.5 wool strips.  The earthy colors gives it an old look and the lighter color at the bottom grounds the piece. 

 $325 plus shipping.

The fall hooked piece is an adaptation of a design by Lori Brechlin of Not forgotten Farm.  Originally designed as a needle punch design I have adapted it to a hooked piece which measures 17 1/2" x 14".  It is hooked using 1/4" wool strips on primitive linen backing.  It is hooked with a combination of as is woolens and over dyed woolens.  Yours for $155   plus shipping.

 Hit and Miss Folk Art Stars rug measures 17" x 24".  It is hand hooked on Scottish Burlap using 1/4" wool strips.  The burlap foundation has serged edges which are turned under and covered with a wide cotton binding tape hand stitched.  The wool used is a combination of as is and hand dyed wool. 

Great for the wall, table top, on top of a chest or on the floor ~ Yours for $250 + shipping.

This is an adaptation of an antique rug which was originally hooked in 1880.  I have hooked that date into the bottom right hand side of the rug.  I have used 1/4" wide wool strips and have hooked it in keeping with the original.

The rug measures 24" x 36",  is hooked on angus burlap foundation, has serged edges which are turned under and covered with cotton binding tape.  $540 plus shipping.

The Boy pulling a Wagon is hooked in patriotic colors and is a design by Polly Minick.  It measures 20" x 24" and hooked with a combination of hand dyed and as is wool strips.  The seam tape is a very nice ribbon binding tape also in patriotic colors.  Yours for $325 plus shipping.

Patriotic Sand Pails was hooked by me using 1/4" wide wool strips and is a design by Polly Minick.  It measures 23 1/2" x 20".  The border is a combination of the stars and chevrons in deep red and navy blue. 

This would make a great wall hanging, floor rug or to display on a chest or table top.  A great piece for a beach house all year round or use during patriotic themed months if you are the type to rotate your accent pieces.  Would also make an excellent gift to someone in the military.  Yours for $295 plus shipping.

The checkerboard oval table runner is 10" x 22 1/2".  It is hand hooked using a combination of hand dyed wool and 'as is' wool.  The border and dark checker squares are a very dark blue and burgundy plaid which hooks up really nicely and makes a mottled look.  The remainder of the wool used is all hand dyed by me. 

This is a Kindred Spirits design that would look great in any decor ~ antiques, shabby chic, cottage, or traditional.  It is $135 + shipping.

Snip-n-Tuck Keeper  4

Everyone tries to make a better mouse trap and I think I've made one. 

The first pic to the right shows how the pouch portion is attached with Velcro.  This way if you use the keeper to hold your snippets, it can be removed from the magnet without removing the magnets and scissors from the frame.

The second picture shows how I use my Snip-n-Tuck Keeper; I put my scissors on the top magnet and my hooks in the pouch.  There is a heavy piece of canvas sewn into the bottom to prevent the hooks from penetrating the wool.  The Snip-n-Tuck Keeper is $24 plus shipping. 

I am always creating more styles, colors and shapes, please e-mail me if you wish to see a picture of the ones I have in stock now or would like a special order.  I recently had a guy request a more manly one with no appliqué at all, and in a grey herringbone.

 The Snip-n-Tuck Keeper has a Velcro  attachment.      The magnets and Velcro are strong      One magnet goes below the backing and one on top.       enough to hold a few hooks inside

  This is another version of the Snip-n-Tuck which is not removable with Velcro.  It is two layers thick in order to make a more substantial pouch using vintage cloth and lace to be decorative.  Again there is a piece of canvas sewn so that the hooks cannot penetrate thru.
